DaVinci Roofscapes products are tested to withstand fire, wind, rain, snow and hail

Hail? Ha! High winds? Double Ha! Whether mother nature throws hurricanes, tornadoes or other forms of severe weather at DaVinci Roofscapes products, the roofing tiles simply laugh in her face. Made of synthetic materials that are tested to withstand fire, wind, rain, impact and hail, DaVinci roofing tiles have passed every test that mother nature can throw at them --- plus every man-made test. "The roof is one of the most vulnerable products in the structure of the home," says Ray Rosewall, president and CEO of DaVinci Roofscapes. "Every hour of every day the roof is exposed to weather conditions that could include hurricane-force winds, horrendous hail and mountains of snow. Because the roof protects the home and the valuable lives within, it's critical for homeowners to select a roof that will withstand all that mother nature has to offer." Backed by a limited 50-year warranty, the virtually maintenance-free synthetic roofing tiles from DaVinci are created to replicate slate and shake roof styles. Each product has been extensively tested and achieved class 4 ratings for impact resistance along with the Miami Dade County Acceptance (high velocity hurricane winds) showing that the roofing tiles can withstand hurricane-force winds. In addition, roofing tiles from DaVinci are rated class A for fire retardance and have achieved the highest rating for straight line wind testing at 110 mph. "These roofing tiles are especially made and tested to withstand weather conditions in every geographical area of the country," says Rosewall. "Whether it's damaging hail in the Midwest, a Nor'easter in New England, a hurricane on the Gulf Coast or wind-blown brush fires on the West Coast, these roofing tiles are made to last." The polymer roofing tiles from DaVinci are created with state-of-the-art UV and color stabilizers embedded in the engineered polymer to create a durable synthetic roofing tile. Superior color fade resistance is achieved with each tile because the color is infused throughout the 100% pure resin used to manufacture the tile. And, despite severe temperatures, DaVinci roofing tiles have been engineered to resist curling, cracking and fading, mold, algae, fungus and insects under normal conditions. "This is truly an example of how man-made products are better than the original slate and wood products," says Rosewall. "We've 'bested' Mother Nature by making slate and shake roofing products that withstand her terrible temper on even the worst weather days to provide five decades of beauty and protection for the home." DaVinci Roofscapes has manufactured award-winning synthetic slate and shake roofing since 1999. The polymer roofing tiles are virtually maintenance free and far more cost effective than the natural product. DaVinci leads the industry in tile thickness, the tile width variety and the greatest selection of subtle earth-toned colors. For additional information visit www.davinciroofscapes.com.
